Had lunch at this pub today along with my brother and sister. Good variety on the menu, friendly staff and above all great food with generous portions. I had the mixed grill which was simply fabulous and served piping hot. We will definitely be returning.

Took an hour to get our food. Didn’t get everything we ordered and had to get up and ask for it. No one came to take our order and we had to go to the bar. Staff were nice but rushed and grumpy. Food was okay, just your bog standard.

Lovely setting, fab garden which is fenced in. Great for families. Dogs welcome on leads. Food was excellent,good portions and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Just had another brilliant meal at the Blue Ball, the food served here is excellent. The pub is in a lovely setting and well worth a visit.

Because we were going to visit family in Chesham, we asked if we could spend the night here with our camper. The owner was so friendly and immediately reserved a spot for us. After arrival we enjoyed drinks on the terrace. We felt welcome and had a great night's sleep! Thank you! Looking forward to next time!

This blue ball is an absolute gem! Stunning location, great food and has an excellent selection of beers and ales! I visit it with family and friends as many times as I can!
I have a few hiking routes that pass The Blue Ball. I take clients here once every 4-6 weeks as it’s about the halfway point to rest up, eat and drink before we continue.On a recent private group hike, we arrived at 11.30am with 6 people including a child. Sat in the garden and a few of us proceeded inside to order food, and were told the kitchen doesn’t open until midday but we can order cold drinks for now. So I ordered a soda while the rest waited to order tea/coffee with the food. While we waited for the kitchen to open, a guest pulled out some food from his backpack and placed it on the table. We had walked 6 miles so this isn’t an unusual behaviour for someone to have a bite while they waited.Within seconds the landlord came outside screaming and shouting at us about only ordering one drink and using his premises. I mean, he was seriously angry and very very disrespectful. I explained to him what we’d been told by his partner and we were waiting for the kitchen to open. He proceeded to treat us very disrespectfully and kick us out. Yes, he asked us to get out!This was a group of hiking tourists from abroad ready to spend money. They’d already spent lots at a cafe where we started the hike in the morning. They were appalled to say the least.I have brought regular, big groups of hikers here who have spent lots of money here over the last two years. Never again!I’ve guided and trekked all over the world and never have I been treated like this in my entire life and certainly not in front of my clients.From now on, The Blue Ball has been struck off my list of local places in The Chilterns to give business to!YOU’VE BEEN WARNED. GO ONLY IF YOU WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE SCUM.

A lovely place, a bit out in "the wilds" ?, to have a lunchtime drink and light meal.

Traditional English pub with excellent food (currently just serving a lunchtime menu). Large outdoor space serves well in the summer, where trekkers can enjoy a well earned pint between lovely country walks. Keep an eye on the pubs Facebook page for special events; for example a stage is erected for the summer months and there are live bands scheduled.
